Here's my attempt at being a Debian guru (actually, pppd guru,
Debian has nothing to do with the problem you're having):

You probably have line staring with ``/AutoPPP/'', right?
Please make sure it starts pppd with the options ``login'' and
``+pap''. My line here is
/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login
An alternative is to have each username/password in the
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets file (which I find rather annoying).
pap-secrets has the following format:
user your_server password ip_address [...]

The line above suggests you have the AutoPPP line in
login.config (maybe the default one?)
